87. Aboriginal Wells – Gloria Park

87. Aboriginal Wells – Gloria Park

Location: Access from Hazelbrook shopping centre car park. From there walk westbound to traffic lights and the junction with the GWH and Oaklands Road, and then also westbound along the GWH footpath fronting the antique shop, for about 200m. Take the gravel path to the right running parallel with the embankment wall of the GWH and you will very quickly come across the Aboriginal Wells.

Relevance to Cox’s Road:This important Aboriginal site was very likely skirted around by Cox’s Road, in contrast to the upgrading of the Great Western Highway in this precinct that has significantly diminished this sites intrinsic value.
